Recipe of the Week: Emma Louise Connolly’s Crispy RoastiesRead More View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Greedy Model (@thegreedymodel) Post author By The Mum Club Post date 11 December 2023 Recipe of the Week: Emma Louise Connolly’s Crispy Roasties Crispy, delicious roasties, that you can prepare days or even weeks in advance. Ingredients… 1 heaped tbsp of baking powder Potatoes (as many as you like) Cooking oill Rosemary and garlic – if you want even more flavour Method… 1. Turn the oven up to 200C. Peel & chop your potatoes. The little ones are the best so make sure you cut a few smaller ones. 2. Add to a large pot of salted, cold water. Add 1 heaped tbsp of baking powder and stir it through. 3. Par boil for around 8-10 minutes or until a knife easily goes through, but doesn’t break the potato. Drain the potatoes (you can be a little rough with this, give them a good shake around to fluff up the edges – these will be the crispy bits!) 4. In an oven tray (flameproof if you have a gas hob – metal works best!) add around 2cm of oil & heat over the hob. Please be VERY careful and don’t do this when kids are around, it gets unbelievably hot. Use tongs & add the potatoes to the hot oil. Crisp one side & then coat the potatoes in the hot oil. You can add rosemary or garlic here if you like. 5. Pop into the oven for around 45 minutes, season generously with sea salt & thank me later! Merry Christmas! Watch How to Make Them… View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Greedy Model (@thegreedymodel) Prepare them in advance Prepare the roasties the night before by part-roasting them (this means all you have to do is finish them off in the oven before you serve them up). Prepare them the night before WITHOUT part-roasting them (this means getting them to the point where you could put them in the oven, pop them in the fridge instead, then all you have to do is roast when you’re ready to). Prepare them further in advance and freeze them (you can get them to the point where they’re ready to roast, but freeze them instead, until it’s time and then you can defrost them and cook as normal.
Reviewed By Us: Stokke MuTableRead More Post author By The Mum Club Post date 11 December 2023 Reviewed By Us: Stokke MuTable Reviewed by: TMC Editor, Lydia House Pros It has SO many uses & my kids love it It has tons of add-on accessories You can buy a silicone top to make it suitable for mealtimes Adjustable legs, which means it suits different ages and heights It is beautifully made and sturdy Cons It’s expensive, and the add-ons are pricey too Overall Thoughts I have two toddlers (2 & 3.5). Our other table’s varnished top has started to wear. So, I was looking for a better-made table that would last longer. The fact that you can switch the top so easily is brilliant. My eldest even does it himself and loves building Duplo and drawing on the board. We’ve started using it for mealtimes, so I need to invest in the silicone top, but unlike the cheaper product we had before, it’s great to know that elements can be easily replaced if something is damaged. It’s quite an expensive item, but I love that it can be adjusted and adapted as they grow, and it looks stylish, so I’m happy for this one to stick around. Is it good value? It’s undoubtedly expensive, but as with all well-made furniture, you get what you pay for. Stokke also often has sales or clear-outs on accessories that fit the Mu Table, so it’s worth watching for them as you can get a bargain. Would you recommend it? Absolutely. I was hesitant over the price, but now that we have it in our home, it makes sense to me as it can be used for many things, and we’re already planning which new accessories to add as Christmas or Birthday presents.

Can’t Mum Without: Molly MaeRead More Post author By The Mum Club Post date 7 December 2023 Can’t Mum Without: Molly Mae The juggle is real! As we’re all very aware. So, what items make your mum life that bit easier? Molly Mae shares her mum must-haves… 1. My Favourite Thing Ever “This is just my favourite thing ever. I had the smaller version and decided to treat myself to the larger one. I have a lemongrass scent that I add in, and I also use SPA restore from the white company. There’s no better feeling than when I put this on, and the kitchen is clean. It literally makes the house smell like a spa.” Shop Now 2. How I Protect my Mental Health “I try and do a few little bits for me is key to feeling good and keeping my mental health balanced. It helped me feel like me again after I had Bambi. Doing little bits for myself makes me ready to go back to being a mum. I feel ready to do it again because I’ve had a little break, even if I’m going to do a bit of work. Then I can’t wait to go back to her.” 3. Favourite Weaning Item “These little food nets are so good and amazing for them to try fruit and veg.” Shop Now 4. Favourite Brand for Sleepsuits and Bodysuits “Mori without question. Their zip-up sleepsuits are literally my favourite thing ever for Bambi. Mamas and Papas also do lovely ones too, and they’re slightly cheaper.” Shop Now 5. The Best Item to Pack in Your Hospital Bag “The one thing that no one told me to pack (and wasn’t on the lists online), which luckily my sister was able to bring me whilst I was in labour, was a SOFT blanket. It changed my whole labour experience. Hospital bed sheets literally feel like you’re sleeping on tissue paper (understandably, as they have a lot of beds to cover!) and were so uncomforting in an already uncomfortable situation. So, a blanket to lie on is my absolute essential. It literally made me feel so much better.” Shop Now 6. My Post-Partum Essential “Disposable underwear is KEY. I thought I bought way too many, but I absolutely didn’t have enough. I probably used 4-5 a day for the first month and continued to use them in the months after too.” Shop Now 7. Best Gift for New Mums “I’d probably say some batch-cooked meals. I had a few friends that did this for me, and I valued it more than anything. They brought me round home cooked stews, pies, lasagnes, and freshly baked cakes… was just the best thing ever and really helped me with getting my appetite after birth. (The only time in history I lost my appetite).” Shop Now 8.

Reviewed By Us: Rumble TumsRead More Post author By The Mum Club Post date 4 December 2023 Reviewed By Us: Rumble Tums Reviewed by: TMC Designer, Jen Williamson Pros Easy – few mins to cook from frozen Variety of meal options and hidden veggies Appealing packaging – engages child Cons Cost – couldn’t rely on it long term but a few meals here and there is helpful Overall Thoughts With a slightly fussy eater I was really keen for my 3.5 year old to try these meals from Rumble Tums. When the box arrived with fun, colourful packaging and a sheet of stickers, we were already off to a good start. What was it like? First meal up was Hey Presto Chicken Pesto! Coming from a child who, majority of the time, will only eat meat if it’s shaped like dinosaurs and covered in breadcrumbs, I was unsure how this would go down but she loved it! The carrot and potato ‘chips’ were a win too and luckily the portion size was enough for seconds. The Tuna Bakey was another huge hit and I love that this one is packed with hidden veggies in the sauce. There are also side pots of greens which are really useful for additional veg. Would you recommend it? Definitely! We got to a point where my little one was excited to choose her next meal and I can’t tell you the relief of knowing dinner time can now be simple, she’s getting the nutrients she needs, and on top of that, the fact that the meals are frozen is a game changer. Because how much easier is mum life when there’s a healthy, delicious and very nutritious meal prepared in the freezer that only takes a few mins to heat?! And your kid will actually eat it – I’m converted. £From 35.00 View Now
